2 55 Amerian Journal of Applied Mathematis and Statistis Multiple Channel Open Jakson Queueing Networks Interonneted olletion of stations is defined as queueing networks, that is, inventions with queues, in whih there is movement of jobs from one station to the subsequent station demanding servie Over the last five deades queueing networks have been known as models of manufaturing omputer and ommuniation systems Jakson []; Gordon and Newell [7] indiate that open and losed networks with one job lass, exponential servie time distributions and First Come First Served (FCFS) sheduling in all stations have produt form solution Multiple job lasses in open, mixed and losed networks is an extension by Kelly [3] Baskett et al [] give produt form solutions for servie requirement distributions that have rational Laplae transforms, denoted by stages Multiple job lasses an be suitable, and the servie neessity distributions an rely on the lass Multitask performane is treated by single hannel, serial proessing models as an issue of task seletion and sheduling The multiple hannel, parallel proessing models in ontrast, treat multitask performane as an issue of parallel allotment and splition of proessing resoures among onurrent jobs [6] 3 Contat Network Contat exists in designated stations A ontat network is a group of persons who an all rapidly get in touh with one another It does not have assurane of any type of assistane or aess to knowledge Contat network models endeavor to depit eah interative ontat that an possibly lead to disease spread in a ommunity [7] In this paper, the urban network was used in the ontat network analysis, sine it offers a high degree of realism 4 Urban Contat Network An urban ontat network involves stations like households, shopping entres, religious entres, shools, workplaes, hospitals, and so on in a given ommunity In the ommunity, every individual whih serves as a node or a vertex in the ontat network denotes an individual host An edge or line between two nodes denotes an interation (that has happened at any point in time for any period) through whih disease spread The number of edges (ie ontats) is the node s degree onneted to the node [7] Node degree is a fundamental quantity in network theory Figure shows individuals ontat network in an urban setting Figure indiates that all individuals emanate from household That is individuals from shools, hospitals, workplaes, shopping entres and religious entres originate from households Quantifiation of degree of possible ontat among individuals in the above plaes ould enhane the knowledge of EVD transmission The assumptions that were employed to quantify the degree of ontat are desribed in the next paragraph Figure Urban Contat Network
3 Amerian Journal of Applied Mathematis and Statistis 56 A redible ontat network was generated applying omputer simulations in this study for an urban loation The data for the ountry of Liberia was used for simulation However, households were hosen at random from Liberia household distribution of size N=000 [], whih generated 5000 persons The ages of members of households are assigned in aordane with Liberia measured age struture, and then alloated to shools in aordane with shool and lass distributions size [4]; to oupations in aordane with unemployment data [5], to shopping entres in aordane with business transations; to hospitals inluding patients as well as aregivers in aordane with hospital employment as well as bed data [4, 0, 8]; and to religious entres in aordane with data derived from [] The above assumptions are also appliable to Guinea and Sierra Leone respetively [8, 9,, 3] Moreover, in eah loation, a random onnetion was reated between persons with probabilities of for households, 035 for shools, 05 for hospitals, 040 for shopping entres, 08 for workplaes and 098 for religious entres Eah shool or hospital or shopping entre or workplae or religious entre is shared into smaller lassrooms or wards or setions or departments or types Pairs of students or patients or people within these sub-units were related with probability that is higher than pairs related with sub-units that are not the same Teahers are alloated to lassrooms and related stohastially to suitable students Caregivers are alloated wards and at this point related to patients appropriately Shopping entres are alloated to different setions Workplaes are alloated to different departments and religion is alloated to different types or groups The probability neighborhood ontats between persons from various households are also low This network is quite omplex but it offers a high degree of realism Dots denote nodes [5] That is, persons and lines between dots denote ontats between persons that possibly, ould lead to spread of disease The rate of ontat of individuals in the designated stations with respet to population is shown in Figure, while the likelihood of transmission of EVD by ontat in the designated plaes is shown in Figure 3 It indiates that the transmission rate dereases in this order: household, religious entre, shopping entre, shool, workplae and hospital The finding supports the idea that all EVD exposed individuals should be gathered in the hospital (Quarantine ) sine the possibility of spread of the disease is lowest in the hospital Also, the finding is in line with the submission of Chowell et al [3] that the use of Quarantine for observation and treatment of EVD affeted individuals is a dependable ontrol measure of the disease outbreak Population (Millions) Guinea Liberia Sierra Leone Household Shool Hospital Shopping Plaes Work Plae Religious Figure Degree of Contat in the Network Stations Probability Guinea Liberia Household Shool Hospital Shopping Plaes Work Plae Religious Figure 3 Probability Degree of Contat in the Network Stations
4 57 Amerian Journal of Applied Mathematis and Statistis 3 Transmissibility of EVD Transmissibility of a disease T is the mean probability that an infetious person will transmit the disease to a suseptible person with whom they have ontat Transmissibility T reaps main faets of transmission of disease as well as the rate at whih ontats take plae between persons, the probability that a ontat will lead to transmission, the duration of the infetious period, and the suseptibility of persons to EVD Critial transmissibility or epidemi threshold T C is the value of transmissibility whih a population is vulnerable to large sale epidemis when the basi reprodutive number R 0 is Aording to Meyers et al [7]; Brauer and Castillo-Chavez [0], the basi reprodution number and epidemi threshold is given by R0 = T TC = () () where is the mean degree and is the mean square degree of the network T C is also alled the least transmissibility ( T ) neessary for an outbreak to turn into a large sale epidemi Cumulative degree distribution against degree of ontat for urban ontat network is shown in Figure 4 The figure desribes the number of ontats (degree) speified on the horizontal axis, whih a randomly hosen individual (vertex) possesses Figure 4 Cumulative Degree Distribution for Urban Contat Network 4 Epidemiologial Analysis of EVD Probability Generating Funtions (PGF), on the other hand is used to foreast the fate of an outbreak quantity that depits probability distributions Aording to Meyers [7] PGF for a degree distribution is defined as G0 ( h) ph = = (3) The probability of attaining a node or vertex of degree, or exess degree ( ), by following a random edge is proportional to and thus, the probability that a vertex at the end of a random edge has exess degree ( ) is a onstant multiple of p with the onstant hosen to make the sum over of the probabilities equal to Then, the probability that a vertex has exess degree ( ) is G ( h) = = = p h p (4) The mean degree equals the derivatives of these terms at h = respetively are and mean exess degree ( ) = p = = (5) p = e = = ( ) p (6) Newman [9] derived the value of the epidemi threshold T C, the foreasted mean outbreak size e and epidemi probability E A PGF an be generated for the size of the outbreak through enlosing PGF for new infetions number originating from the node or vertex that are infeted, and thus, the mean size of an outbreak ( ) ( ) T e = + (7) T e Equ 7 differs one an outbreak turns out to be a large-sale epidemi and it is graded by epidemi threshold T C The probability of a single infetion is onsidered, whih will lead to merely an outbreak (initial value) instead of a full-blown epidemi Therefore, the fullblown epidemi probability E is obtained by subtrating the initial value from one E = p ( + ( l ) T) = (8) The individual at the end of an edge or line does not have the disease, l is the probability at that point and the result is given as l = = ( + ( ) ) p l T = p (9) Full-blown epidemi probability E and probability of a single infetion whih will lead to merely an outbreak l, is solved and these outomes extended to foreast the outome of an outbreak based on the number of
